Mil-tek Polystyrene Recycling Compactor Machines

In the past expanded polystyrene or "Styrofoam" has been one of the least recycled forms of packaging.

Many recycling and waste firms do not offer recycling machines or recycling services for expanded polystyrene, but Mil-tek has a unique solution that not only allows you to effectively dispose of EPS, but also makes money!

What to do Waste Polystyrene?

Polystyrene is great for packaging across many industries including food, consumer goods and technology. It provides lightweight, low-cost, waterproof protection.

But it is difficult to reuse, and its bulk means that it is also expensive to dispose of. A more environmentally friendly solution is to compact and recycle it in a Mil-tek EPS Compactor.

What Kind of Expanded Polystyrene Can You Recycle?

Also known as Styrofoam or EPS-foam, expanded polystyrene is lightweight, low-cost, impermeable, shock-absorbent and provides excellent all round protection for goods.

There are many different forms including moulded sheets for building and packaging peanuts, but the most commonly used form is EPS6, which can be compacted and recycled in a Mil-tek EPS Compactor.

Better Waste Handling

Better waste handling isn't about handling packaging waste more efficiently. It's about managing the volume and the cost of waste disposal, reducing both where possible and trying to generate revenue by recycling.

Expanded Polystyrene is often simply bagged and disposed of in bulk, at significant cost. A Mil-tek EPS Compactor allows you to convert that cost to revenue and the volume to space, enabling better waste handling.

How A Polystyrene Compactor Works

A Mil-tek polystyrene compactor machine works in two stages. First, the polystyrene is shredded to remove both the shape and the air inside.

This is then heated, compacted and reformed into a briquette form, reducing the volume of the item by 97.5% - a ratio of 40:1!

This useful briquette form of EPS6 can be sold for reuse elsewhere. Recycled EPS6 can be used to make mobile phone covers, DVD cases and many other cheap consumer goods.

By using a Polystyrene Compactor recycling machine, organisations not only make substantial savings compared to sending it to landfills, but they create an additional revenue source as well!

Disposing of Expanded Polystyrene
